Lead is the heavieſt metal except gold; for, though it is conſiderably lighter than quickſilver, as this wants mallea- bility, it ought not to be reckoned in the claſs of metals. Lead is the ſofteſt of all the metals, and very dućtile, though leſs ſo than gold : it is very little ſubject to ruſt, and the leaſt ſonorous of all the metals except gold. The ſpecifick gra- vity of lead is to that of water as 11322 to Iooo. Lead, when kept in fuſion over a common fire, throws up all other bodies, except gold, that are mixed, all others being lighter, except Mercury, which will not bear that degree of heat: it afterwards vitrifies with the baſer metals, and carries them off, in form of ſcoriae, to the ſides of the veſſel. The weakeſt acids are the beſt ſolvents for lead : it diſſolves very readily in aqua fortis diluted with water, as alſo in vinegar. Gold, or filver, or copper, become brittle on being mixed with lead in fuſion; and, if lead and tin be melted together, the tin is thrown up to the ſurface in little duſty globes.

Thomſon's Spring, * [In aſtronomy.] Libration is the balancing motion or trepidation in the fir- *ment, whereby the declination of the fun, and the lati- tude of the ſtars, change from time to time. Aſtronomers likewiſe aſcribe to the moon a libratory motion, or motion of trºpidation, which they pretend is from eaſt to weſt, and * nºrth to ſouth, becauſe that, at full moon, they ſome- * diſcover parts of her diſk which are not diſcovered at L I C other times. Theſe kinds are called, the one a ſtratiºn in longitude, and the other a libration in latitude. Beſides this, there is a third kind, which they call an apparent libra- tion, and which conſiſts in this, that when the moon is at her greateſt elongation from the ſouth, her axis being then almoſt perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptick, the ſun muſt enlighten towards the north pole of the moon ſome parts which he did not before, and that, on the contrary, ſome parts of thoſe which he enlightened towards the oppo- ſite pole are obſcured; and this produces the ſame effect which the libration in latitude does. Dić7. Trev. Thoſe planets which move upon their axis, do not all make intire revolutions; for the moon maketh only a kind of libration, or a reciprocated motion on her own axis. Grew. Libratory. adj.

Some ſay it is derived of coin, for that they uſed in their coignies not only to take meat but money; but I rather think it is derived of the Iriſh, the which is a common uſe amongſt landlords of the Iriſh to have a common ſpending upon their tenants, who being commonly but tenants at will, they uſed to take of them what vićtuals they liſt; for of vićtuals they were wont to make a ſmall reckoning.

Manna is properly a gum, and is honey-like juice con- creted into a ſolid form, ſeldom ſo dry but it adheres more or leſs. to the fingers in handling : its colour is whitiſh, yel- lowiſh, or browniſh, and it has in taſte the ſweetneſs of ſu- gar, and with it a ſharpneſs that renders it very agreeable: we are ſupplied with manna from Calabria and Sicily, which is the produćt of two different trees, but which are of the ſame genus, being both varieties of the aſh : when the heats of ſummer are free from rain, the leaves, the trunks, and branches of both theſe trees, exſudate a white honey juice which concretes into what we call manna, forming itſelf a. it runs; and according to its different quantity, into ſmall roundiſh drops, or long flakes: what flows out of the leaves of theſe trees is all natural, but the Italians procure a forced kind by wounding the trunks and branches: the fineſt manna of all is that which oozes naturally out of the leaves in Au- guſt, after the feaſon of collecting the common manna is over: the French have another ſort of manna, produced from the Shakeſpeare. Dryden's juv. -

M A N the larch tree, of a very different genus of the aſh, and the very tree which produces oil of turpentine ; this is called Briançon manna, from the country where it is produced: our black thorn, or ſloe tree, ſometimes yield a true manna from the ribs of the leaves in Autumn, but it is in a very ſmall quantity: there is another ſort called the manna Perſia, pro- duced from a ſmall prickly ſhrub about four or five feet high, rowing in Egypt, Armenia, Georgia, and Perſia. The #., who had been acquainted with the laſt mentioned fort of manna, when they found a miraculous food in the de- ſert reſembling it, did not ſcruple to call it manna : this was a conjeaure the more natural to them, as they ſaw plainly that this deſcended from the heavens in form of a dew, and concreted into the globules in which they found it; and the received opinion at that time was, that the Oriental manna was formed in the ſame manner; that it was a dew from the clouds concreted on the plant, none ſuppoſing, in thoſe early times, that it was the natural juice of the ſhrub upon which it was found: it is however evident, that this was not of the nature of manna, becauſe it melted away as the fun grew hot, whereas manna hardens in that heat. It is but lately that the world were convinced of the miſtake of manna being an aerial produce, by an experiment being made by covering a tree with ſheets in the manwa ſeaſon, and the find- ing as much manna on it afterwards as on thoſe which were open to the air and dew. Manna is celebrated, both by the ancients and moderns, as a gentle and mild cathartick. Hill. It would be well inquired, whether manha doth fall but upon certain herbs, or leaves only. Bacon's Nat.

MANor. n.ſ.. [manoir, old French; namerium, low Latin 3 maner, Armorick.] - Manor ſignifies, in common law, a rule or government which aman hath over ſuch as hold land within his fee. Touch- ing the original of theſe manºr, it ſeems, that, in the begin- ning, there was a certain compaſs or circuit of ground grant- ed by the king to ſome men of worth, for him and his heirs to dwell upon, and to exerciſe ſome juriſdiction, more or leſs, within that compaſs, as he thought good to grant; per- forming him ſuch ſervices, and paying ſuch yearly rent for the ſame, as he by his grant required : and that afterward this great man parcelled his land to other meaner men, in- joining them again ſuch ſervices, and rents as he thought good; and by that means, as he became tenant to the king, Îo the inferiors became tenants to him : but thoſe great men, or their poſterity, have alienated theſe manſions and lands ſo given them by their prince, and many for capital offences have forfeited them to the king; and thereby they ſtill re- main in the crown, or are beſtowed again upon others. But whoſoever poſſeſſes theſe manors, the liberty belonging to them is real and predial, and therefore remains, though the owners be changed. In theſe days, a ** rather ſignifies the juriſdiction and royalty incorporeal, than the land or ſite: for a man may have a manor in groſs, as the law terms it, that is, the right and intereſt of a court-baron, with the per- quiſites thereto belonging. . Cowel. My parks, my walks, my manºrs that I had; Ev’n now forf.ke me; and of all my lands - Is nothing left me.

MA'Re Asi TE. m. ſ. - s The term marcaſte has been very improperly uſed by ſome for biſmuth, and by others for zink: the more accurate writers however always expreſs a ſubſtance different from either of theſe by it, ſulphureous and metallick. The mar- ca/ite is a ſolid hard foſſil, of an obſcurely and irregularly for liaceous ſtructure, of a bright glittering appearance, and na- turally found in continued beds among the veins of ores, or in the fiſſures of ſtone: the variety of forms this mineral puts on is almoſt endleſs: as it is generally found among the ores of metals, it is frequently impregnated with particles of them, and of other foſſile bodies, and thence aſſumes various colours and degrees of hardneſs. There are however only three di- ſtinét ſpecies of it; one of a bright gold colour, another of a bright ſilver, and a third of a dead white : the ſilvery one ſeems to be peculiarly meant by the writers on the Materia Medica. Marcoſite is very frequent in the mines of Corn- wall, where the workmen call it mundick, but more ſo in Germany, where they extract vitriol and ſulphur from it, be- ſides which it contains a quantity of arſenick. Hill, The writers of minerals give the name pyrites and marca- ſites indifferently to the ſame ſort of body: I reſtrain the name of pyrites wholly to the nodules, or thoſe that are found lodged in ſtrata that are ſeparate: the marcoſite is part of the matter that either conſtitutes the ſtratum, or is lodged in the perpendicular fiſſures. Woodward Met. Foſſils.

M A R M A R copper, and earth, and with them compounds alum, vitriol, and ſulphur : with the earth alone it compounds alum; with the metal alone, or metal and earth together, it compounds vitrio, and with the bitumen and earth it compounds ſul- phur : whence it comes to paſs, that marcoſites abound with thoſe three minerals.

Mildew. m. ſ. ſmilbeape, Saxon.] Mildew is a diſeaſe that happens in plants, and is cauſed by a dewy moiſture which falls on them, and continuing, for want of the ſun's heat, to draw it up, by its acrimony cor- rodes, gnaws, and ſpoils, the inmoſt ſubſtance of the plant, and hinders the circulation of the nutritive ſap ; upon which the leaves begin to fade, and the bloſſoms and fruit are much prejudiced: or, mildew is rather a concrete ſubſtance, which exſudes through the pores of the leaves. What the garden- ers commonly call mildew is an inſect, which is frequently found in great plenty, preying upon this exſudation. Others ſay, that mildew is a thick, clammy vapour, exhaled in the Spring and Summer from the plants, bloſſoms, and even the carth itſelf, in cloſe, ſtill weather, where there is neither ſun cnough to draw it upwards to any conſiderable height, nor wind of force ſtrong enough to diſperſe it: it condenſes and falls on plants, and with its thick, clammy ſubſtance ſtops the pores, and by that meansprevents perſpiration. Miller thinks the true cauſe of the mildew appearing moſt upon plants which are expoſed to the Eaſt, is a dry temperature in the air when the wind blows from that point, which ſtops the pores of the plants, and prevents their perſpiration; whereby the juices of the plants are concreted upon the ſurface of their leaves, which being of a ſweetiſh nature, inſe&ts are inticed thereto, where find- ing proper nutriment they depoſite their eggs, and multiply ſo faſt as to cover the whole ſurfaces of the plants, and, by corroding the veſſels, prevent the motion of the ſap. It is obſervable, that whenever a tree has been greatly affected by this mildew, it ſeldom recovers it in two or three years, and many times never is intirely clear from it after. Hill. Down fell the mildew of his ſugred words. Fairfax. The mildew cometh by cloſeneſs of air; and therefore in hills, or champain grounds, it ſeldom cometh. Bacon.

The ſtate of a Chriſtian in this world is frequently com- pared to a warfare : and this alluſion has appeared ſo juſt, that the character of militant has obtained as the common di- ſtinction of that part of Chriſt's church ſojourning here in this world from that part of the family at reſt.

The milky-way, or via lactea, is a broad white path or track, encompaſſing the whole heavens, and extending itſelf in ſome places with a double path, but for the moſt part with a ſingle one. Some of the ancients, as Ariſtotle, imagined that this path conſiſted only of a certain exhalation hanging in the air; but, by the teleſcopical obſervations of this age, it hath been diſcovered to conſiſt of an innumerable quantity of fixed ſtars, different in ſituation and magnitude, from the confuſed mix- ture of whoſe light its whole colour is ſuppoſed to be occa- fioned. It paſſes through the conſtellations of Caſſiopeia, Cygnus, Aquila, Perſeus, Andromeda, part of Ophiucus and Gemini, in the northern hemiſphere ; and in the ſouthern it takes in part of Scorpio, Sagittarius, Centaurus, the Argo Navis and the Ara. The galaxy hath uſually been the re- gion in which new ſtars have appeared ; as that in Caſſiopeia, . which was ſeen in A. D. 1572; that in the breaſt of the Swan, and another in the knee of Serpentarius; which have appeared for a while, and then become inviſible again. Harris.

The flower of the miſletoe conſiſts of one leaf, which is ſhaped like a baſon, divided into four parts, and beſet with warts; the ovary which is produced in the female flowers is placed in a remote part of the plant from the male flowers, and conſiſts of four ſhorter leaves; this becomes a round berry full of a glutinous ſubſtance, incloſing a plain heart-ſhaped ſeed : this plant is always produced from ſeed, and is not to be cultivated in the earth, as moſt other plants, but will always grow upon trees; from whence the ancients account- ed it a ſuper-plant, who thought it to be an excreſcence on the tree without the ſeed being previouſly lodged there, which opinion is now generally confuted. The manner of its pro- pagation is as follows, viz. the miſletoe thruſh, which feeds upon the berries of this plant in winter when it is ripe, doth open the ſeed from tree to tree; for the viſcous part of the berry, which immediately ſurrounds the ſeed, doth ſometimes faſten it to the outward part of the bird’s beak, which, to get diſengaged of, he ſtrikes his beak at the branches of a neighbouring tree, and ſo leaves the ſeed ſticking by this viſ- cous matter to the bark, which, if it lights upon a ſmooth part of the tree, will faſten itſelf, and the following winter put out and grow : the trees which this plant doth moſt rea- dily take upon are the apple, the aſh, and ſome other ſmooth rind trees: it is obſervable, that whenever a branch of an oak tree hath any of theſe plants growing upon it, it is cut off, and preſerved by the curious in their collections of na- tural curioſities.

A dead body preſerved by the Egyptian art of embalming. We have two different ſubſtances preſerved for medicinal uſe under the name of mummy: one is the dried fleſh of hu- man bodies embalmed with myrrh and ſpice; the other is the liquor running from ſuch mummies when newly prepared, or when affected by great heat, or by damps: this is ſome- times of a liquid, ſometimes of a ſolid form, as it is pre- ſerved in vials well ſtopped, or ſuffered to dry and harden in the air; the firſt kind is brought to us in large pieces, of a lax and friable texture, light and ſpungy, of a blackiſh brown colour, and often black and clammy on the ſurface; it is of 3 ſtrong but not agreeable ſmell: the ſecond ſort, in its liquid ſtate, is a thick, opake, and viſcous fluid, of a blackiſh and a ſtrong, but not diſagreeable ſmell : in its indurated itate it is a dry, ſolid ſubſtance, of a fine ſhining black co- lour and cloſe texture, eaſily broken, and of a good ſmell : this ſort is extremely dear, and the firſt ſort ſo cheap, that as all kinds of mummy are brought from Egypt we are not to imagine it to be the ancient Egyptian mummy. What our druggiſts are ſupplied with is the fleſh of executed criminals, or of any other bodies the Jews can get, who fill them with the common bitumen ſo plentiful in that part of the world, and adding aloes, and ſome other cheap ingredients, ſend them to be baked in an oven till the juices are exhaled, and the embalming matter has penetrated ſo thoroughly that the fleſh will keep. Mummy has been eſteemed reſolvent and balſamick ; and beſides it, the ſkull, and even the moſs grow- ing on the ſkulls of human ſkeletons, have been celebrated for antiepileptick virtues; the fat alſo of the human body has been recommended in rheumatiſms, and every other part or humour have been in repute for the cure of ſome diſeaſe: at preſent we are wiſe enough to know, that the virtues aſcribed to the parts of the human body are all either imaginary, or ſuch as may be found in other animal ſubſtances: the mummy and the ſkull alone of all theſe horrid medicines retain their places in the ſhops, Bill's Mat.

NITRE. m. ſ. ſnitre, Fr. nitrum, Latin.] The ſalt which we know at this time, under the name of mitre or ſalt-petre, is a cryſtalline pellucid, but ſomewhat whitiſh ſubſtance, of an acrid and bitteriſh taſte, impreſſing a peculiar ſenſe of coldneſs upon the tongue. This ſak, though it affords, by means of fire, an acid Ipirit capable of diſſolving almoſt every thing, yet manifeſts no ſign of its containing any acid at all in its crude ſtate. Nitre is of the number of thoſe ſalts which are naturally blended in imper- ceptible particles in earths, ſtones, and other foſſile ſub- ſtances, as the particles of metals are in their ores : it is ſometimes however found pure, in form of an effloreſcence, either on its ores or on the ſurface of old walls; theſe ef- floreſcences diſſolved in proper water, ſhooting into regular and proper cryſtals of nitre. That this ſalt ſhould be found on the ſurface of walls is not wonderful, ſince it is found only on or near the ſurface of the earth where it is produced. The earth from which nitre is made, both in Perſia and the Eaſt-Indies, is a kind of yellowiſh marl found in the bare cliffs of the fides of hills expoſed to the northern and caſtern winds, and never in any other ſituation. From this marl the ſalt is ſeparated by water; but the cryſtals into which it ſhoots, as we receive them from the Eaſt-Indies, are ſmall, imperfect, and impure. Earths of whatever kind, moiſtened by the dung and excrement of animals, frequently afford ni- tre in large quantities. The earths at the bottom of pigeon- houſes, and thoſe of ſtables and cow-houſes, all afford nitre, on being thrown into water and boiled. In France, where very little nitre is imported, they make it from the rubbiſh of old mortar and plaiſter of buildings; and the mortar of old walls with us, if moiſtened with urine and expoſed to the air in a proper ſituation that is open to the north eaſt, and covered over to defend it from wet, never fails to afford nitre in a few weeks, and that in proportion of one tenth of the weight of the ingredients. There is no queſtion but a manufactory of nitre might be eſtabliſhed in England to as much advantage as that of France. The place where the materials are expoſed, is to be carefully examined. It muſt be moderate as to the great points of moiſture and dryneſs; if there be too much moiſture the nitre which is already formed will be waſhed away, and without ſome moiſture the ſalts will hardly be ever formed. Heat and coldneſ, unleſs exceſſive, can be of no conſequence. It is on account of the requiſiteneſs of ſo certain a degree of moiſture to the materials from which nitre is obtained, that the north eaſt winds are of ſo much uſe in the production of it. In ſpring and autumn, which are the ſeaſons when this ſalt is prin- cipally made, theſe two winds are neither too moiſt nor too dry, eſpecially in the night ; the ſouth and weſt winds are deſtructive, becauſe they bring ſtorms and ſhowers. In me- dicine, nitre is cooling and diuretick, and good in burning fe- vers. The natrum or nitre of the ancients, is a genuine, na- tive, and pure ſalt, extremely different from our nitre, and from all other native ſalts; being a fixed alkali plainly of the na- ture of thoſe made by fire from vegetables, yet being ca- pable of a regular cryſtallization, which thoſe ſalts are not. It is found on or very near the ſurface of the earth, in thin flat cakes, ſpungy, light, and friable ; and when pure, of a pale browniſh white colour. It is of an acrid taſte, like pot-aſhes. About Smyrna and Epheſus, and through a great part of Aſia Minor, this ſalt is extremely frequent on the ſurface of the earth, and alſo in Sindy, a province of the inner Aſia, where they ſweep it up and call it ſoap-earth, uſing a ſolution or lye of it in waſhing. The natrum or ni- tre of the ancients, has been by ſome ſuppoſed to be a loſt ſubſtance, and by others to be the ſame with our nitre or ſalt-petre ; but both theſe opinions are erroneous, this ſalt being the true natrum of the ancients, anſwering perfectly to its deſcription, and having all its uſes and virtues. In ſcripture we find that the ſalt called nitre would ferment with vinegar, and had an abſterfive quality, properties which per- fectly agree with this ſalt but not with ſalt-petre, as do many different qualities aſcribed to it by the ancients. Hill on F.ſ. Some tumultuous cloud, Inſtinét with fire and nitre, hurried him. Milton. Some ſteep their ſeed, and ſome in cauldrons boil, With vigorous nitre and with lees of oil. Dryden.

Ral. Many of the nobility endeavoured to make themſelves po- pular, by ſpeaking in parliament againſt thoſe things which were moſt grateful to his majeſty; and he thought a little diſcountenance upon thoſe perſons would ſuppreſs that ſpirit within themſelves, or make the poiſon of it leſs operative upon others. - Clarendon.

So much as we ourſelves conſider and comprehend of truth and reaſon, ſo much we poſſeſs of real and true knowledge. The floating of other men's opinions in our brains, make us not one jot the more knowing, though they happen to be true: what in them was ſcience, is in us but opiniatrety. * Locke.

Charity itſelf commands us, where we know no ill, to think well of all ; but friendſhip, that always goes a pitch higher, gives a man a peculiar right and claim to the good opinion of his friend. South's Sermons, We may allow this to be his opinion concerning heirs, that where there are divers children the eldeſt ſon has the right to be heir. Locke. Philºſophers are of opinion, that infinite ſpace is poſſeſſed by God's infinite omnipreſence.

OPITULATION. m. ſ. ſopitulatio, Lat..] An aiding ; a help- ing. Dić?. O'PIUM. n.ſ. A juice, partly of the reſinous, partly of the gummy kind. It is brought to us in flat cakes or maſſes; uſually of a roundiſh figure, very heavy and of a denſe tex- ture, not perfectly dry: its colour is a dark browniſh yellow; its ſmell is very unpleaſant, of a dead faint kind; and its taſte very bitter and very acrid. It is brought from Natolia, from Egypt, and from the Eaſt-Indies, where it is produced from the white garden poppy; a plant of which every part is full of a milky juice, and with which the fields of Aſia- Minor are in many places ſown as ours are with corn. When the heads grow to maturity, but are yet ſoft, green and full of juice, inciſions are made in them, and from every one of theſe a few drops flow of a milky juice, which ſoon hardens into a ſolid conſiſtence. Theſe drops are gathered with great care, and the fineſt opium proceeds from the firſt inciſions. In the countries where opium is produced, multitudes are em- ployed in preparing it with water, honey and ſpices, and working it up into cakes ; but what we generally have is the mere crude juice, or at moſt worked up with water, or a ſmall quantity of honey fufficient to bring it into form. The ancients were greatly divided about the virtues and uſe of opium; ſome calling it a poiſon, and others the greateſt of all medicines. At preſent it is in high eſteem, and exter- nally applied it is emolient, relaxing and diſcutient, and greatly promotes ſuppuration. A moderate doſe ºf ºpium taken internally, is generally under a grain, yet cuſtom will make people bear a dram as a moderate doſe; but in that caſe nature is vitiated. Its firſt effect is the making the pa- tient cheerful, as if he had drank moderately of wine; it removes melancholy, excites boldneſs, and diſſipates the dread of danger; and for this reaſon the Turks always take it when they are going to battle in a larger doſe than ordi- nary : it afterward quiets the ſpirits, eaſes pain, and diſpoſes to ſleep. After the effect of a doſe of opium is over, the pain generally returns in a more violent manner; the ſpirits, which had been elevated by it, become lower than before, and the pulſe languid. An immoderate doſe of opium brings on a ſort of drunkenneſs, cheerfulneſs and loud laughter, at firſt, and, after many terrible ſymptoms, death itſelf. Thoſe who have accuſtomed themſelves to an immoderate uſe of of ium, are ſubject to relaxations and weakneſſes ºf all the parts of the body; they are apt to be faint, idle and thought- leſs, and are generally in a ſtupid and uncomfortabl; ſtate, except juſt after they have taken a freſh doſe they loſe their appetite, and in fine grow old before their time. Hill. Sleep hath forſook and giv'n Ine o'er - To death's benumbing opium as my only cure. . Milton. The colour and taſte of opium are, as well as its ſoporific Or anodyne virtues, mere powers dependin On 11S prunary qualities, whereby it is fitted to produce different operations on different parts of our bodies. - Lºcke O'ple-tre F. n.ſ..

There are five orders of columns; three of which are Greek, viz. the doric, ionic, and corinthian ; and two Italian, viz. the tuſcan and compoſite. The whole is compoſed of two parts at leaf', the column and the entablature, and of four arts at the moſt ; where there is a pedeſtal under the co- ſº and one acroter or little pedeſtal on the top of the entablature. The column has three parts ; the baſe, the ſhaft, and the capital; which parts are all different in the ſeveral orders. - - In the tuſcan order, any height being given, divide it into ten parts and three quarters, called diameters, by diameters is meant the thickneſs of the ſhaft at the bottom, the pe- deſtal having two ; the column with baſe and capital, ſeven ; and the entablature one and three quarters. In the doric order, the whole height being given, is divided into twelve diameters or parts, and one third; the pedeſtal having two and one third, the column eight, and the enta- blature two. In the ionic order, the whole height is dividedinto thirteen diameters and a half, the pedeſtal having two and two thirds, the column nine, and the entablature one and four fifths. In the corinthian order, the whole height is divided into fourteen diameters and a half, the pedeſtal having three, the column nine and a half, and the entablature two. In the compoſite order, the whole height is divided into fif- teen diameters and one third; the pedeſtal having three and one third, the column ten, and the entablature two. In a colonnade or range of pillars, the intercolumination or ſpace between columns in the tuſcan order, is four diameters. In the doric order, two and three quarters; in the ionic or- der, two and a quarter; in the corinthian order, two ; and in the compoſite order, one and a half. Builder's Dićf. To O'RDeR. v. a.

ORF1'MENT. n. ſ. ſauripigmentum, Lat, orpiment, orpin, Fr.] True and genuine orpiment is a foliaceous foſſil, ſometimes found in maſles of two or three inches diameter, and one inch in thickneſs; but it is oftener met with in ſmaller con- geries of flakes from an eighth of an inch to a third in dia- meter, lodged in zarnich. See ZARN1ch. It is of a fine and pure texture, remarkably heavy, and its colour is a bright and beautiful yellow, like that of gold. It is not hard but very tough, eaſily bending without breaking: ſome have declared orpiment to be only muſcovy talk, ſtained by acci- dent. But talk is always elaſtick, but orpiment not ſo; talk alſo remains unaltered in the ſtrongeſt fire, whereas orpiment melts readily, and as readily burns away. Orpiment has been ſuppoſed to contain gold, and is found in mines of gold, ſilver, and copper, and ſometimes in the ſtrata of marl. t is frequent in, the Eaſt-Indies and the Turkiſh dominions, the fineſt coming from Smyrna. We have it alſo in Ger- many and Saxony. The ancients were well acquainted with this drug, which they called arſenicon ; and though they were utterly unacquainted with the poiſonous ſubſtance called arſenick, yet orpiment has been by ſome very unjuſtly deemed a poiſon; but it appears to be an innocent medicine which the ancients preſcribed internally. The painters are very fond of it as a gold colour. Hill's Mat. Med. For the golden colour, it may be made by ſome ſmall mixture of orpiment, ſuch as they uſe to braſs in the yellow alchymy; it will eaſily recover that which the iron loſeth. Bacon.

It is a low plant, whoſe branches trail on the ground; the leaves are ſmall and roundiſh, of a glau- cous colour, and of a pretty thick conſiſtence. The flowers are ſmall, and of a whitiſh green colour. Miller. Cool violets and orpine growing ſtill, Embathed balm and cheerful galingale. Spenſºr. O'RRERY. m. ſ. An inſtrument which by many complicated movements repreſents the revolutions of the heavenly bodies.

O'RR1s. r. ſ. [oris, Latin.] A plant and flower. It hath no leaves to the flower, but conſiſts of many ſta- mina ariſing from a five-leaved empalement. The pointal becomes the ſeed, which is flat and orbicular, and incloſed in the empalement, which becomes a foliaceous capſule, in which are included two ſorts of ſeeds. Miller. The nature of the orris root is almoſt ſingular; for roots that are in any degree ſweet, it is but the ſame ſweetneſs with the wood or leaf; but the orris is not ſweet in the leaf; neither is the flower any thing ſo ſweet as the root.

A pračtice has long prevailed among writers, to uſe owing, the ačtive participle of owe, in a paſſive ſenſe, for owed or due. Of this impropriety Bolinbroke was aware, and, having no quick ſenſe of the force of Engliſh words, has uſed due, in the ſenſe of conſequence or imputation, which by other writers is only uſed of debt. We ſay, the money is due to me; Bolinbroke ſays, the effect is due to the cauſe. 6. Conſequential. This was owing to an indifference to the pleaſures of life, and an averſion to the pomps of it. Atterbury. . Due as a debt. You are both too bold; I'll teach you all what's owing to your queen. Dryden. The debt, owing from one country to the other, cannot be paid without real effects ſent thither to that value. Locke. 8. Imputable to, as an agent. If we eſtimate things, what in them is owing to nature, and what to labour, we ſhall find in moſt of them , 23 to be on the account of labour. Locke. The cuſtom of particular impeachments was not limited any more than that of ſtruggles between nobles and com- mons, the ruin of Greece was owing to the former, as that of Rome was to the latter.

Inachus in his cave alone, Wept not another's loſſes, but his own. Dryden. 2. It is added generally by way of emphaſis or corroboration. I yet never was forſworn, Scarcely have coveted what was my own. Shakeſp. Every nation made gods of their own, and put them in high places. 2 Kings xvii. 29. For my own ſhare one beauty I deſign, Engage your honours that ſhe ſhall be mine. Dryden. It is conceit rather than underſtanding, if it muſt be un- der the reſtraint of receiving and hoſding opinions by the authority of anything but their own perceived evidence. Locke. Will ſhe thy linen waſh, or hoſen darn, And knit thee gloves made of her own ſpun yarn. Gay. Paſſion and pride were to her ſoul unknown, Convinc'd that virtue only is our own. Pope. 3. Sometimes it is added to note oppoſition or contradiſtinétion; domeſtick; not foreign; mine, his, or yours; not another's.

Brown's Wulgar Errours. Modern writers, making the drachma leſs than the dena- rius, others equal, have been deceived by a double paralogiſm, in ſtanding too nicely upou the bare words of the ancients, without examining the things. Arbuthnot. If a ſyllogiſm agree with the rules given for the conſtruction Pope. of it, it is called a true argument: if it diſagree with theſe rules, it is a paralogiſm, or falſe argument. J/atts.

By varying the poſition of my eye, and moving it nearer to or farther from the direct beam of the ſun's light, the colour of the ſun's reflected light conſtantly varied upon the ſpeculum as it did upon my eye. Newton's Opticks. We have a different proſpect of the ſame thing, according to the different poſition of our underſtandings toward it. Iſatº. Place ourſelves in ſuch a pºſition toward the object, or place the object in ſuch a poſition toward our eye, as may give us the cleareſt repreſentation of it; for a different pºſition greatly alters the appearance of bodies. //atts's Logică. 2.

The power or bloſſom is a poſitive good, although the re- move of it, to give place to the fruit, be a comparative ood. Bacon. Hardneſs carries ſomewhat more of poſitive in it than in- enetrability, which is negative; and is perhaps more a con- jejuence of ſolidity, than ſolidity itſelf. - Locke. Whatſoever doth or can exiſt, or be conſidered as one thing, is pºſitive; and ſo not only ſimple ideas and ſubſtances, but modes alſo are poſitive beings, though the parts, of which they conſiſt, are very often relative one to another. Locke. 2. Abſolute; particular ; direct; not implied.

Some poſitive perſiſting fops we know, That, if once wrong, will needs be always ſo; But you, with pleaſure own your errors paſt, And make each day a critick on the laſt. Pope. 4. Settled by arbitrary appointment. In laws, that which is natural, bindeth univerſally, that which is pºſitive, not ſo. Hooker. Although no laws but pºſitive be mutable, yet all are not rºutable which be pºſitive ; poſitive laws are either permanent or cle changeable, according as the matter itſelf is, concern- is, which they were made. Hooker. c - ſº • • Laws are but poſitive; love's pow'r we ſee, Is nature's ſančtion, and her firſt decree. Dryden. 5. Having the power to enact any law. Not to conſert to the enacting of ſuch a law, which has no view beſides the general good, unleſs another law ſhall at the ſame time paſs, with no other view but that of ad- vancing the power of one party alone; what is this but to claim a pºſitive voice, as well as a negative.

Shakeſp. Rich. III. The good or evil, which is removed, may be eſteemed good or evil comparatively, and not poſitively or ſimply. Bacon. 2. Not negatively. It is impoſſible that any ſucceſſive duration ſhould be ac- tually and poſitively infinite, or have infinite ſucceſſions already gone and paſt. Bently’s Sermons. 3. Certainly ; without dubitation. It was abſolutely certain, that this part was poſitively yours, and could not poſſibly be written by any other. Dryden. 4. Peremptorily; in ſtrong terms. I would aſk any man, that has but once read the bible, whether the whole tenor of the divine law does not poſitively require humility and meekneſs to all men. Sprat. Po's rives Ess. n.ſ.. [from poſitive.] i. Actualneſs; not mere negation. The pºſitivenſ of fins of commiſſion lies both in the habi- tude of the will and in the executed ačt too; whereas the po- fitizenſ of fins of omiſſion is in the habitude of the will only. - Norris. 2. Peremptorineſs; confidence. This peremptorineſs is of two ſorts; the one a magiſterial- neſs in matters of opinion and ſpeculation, the other a poſſ- tiveneſs in relating matters of fact; in the one we impoſe upon men's underſtandings, in the other on their faith. Government of the Tongue. Positi'vity. n.ſ. [from poſitive..] Peremptorineſs; confi- dence. A low word. Courage and poſitivity are never more neceſſary than on ſuch an occaſion; but it is good to join ſome argument with them of real and convincing force, and let it be ſtrongly pro- nounced too. //atts's Improvement of the Mind.

Suppoſing the poſture of the party's hand who did throw the dice, and ſuppoſing all other things, which did concur to the produćtion of that caſt, to be the very ſame they were, there is no doubt but in this caſe the caſt is neceſſary.

Miſèhief; detriment; hurt ; injury. This ſenſe is only ac- cidental or conſequential; a bad thing being called a prejudº, only becauſe prejudice is commonly a bad thing, and is not de- rivéd from the original or etymology of the word; it wº therefore better to uſe it leſs; perhaps prejudice ought ºf to be applied to any miſchief, which does not imply ſome partiality or prepoſſeſſion. In ſome of the following examples its impropriety will be diſcovered. I have Shakeſpeare. : p

Companies of learned men, be they never ſo great and re- verend, are to yield unto reaſon; the weight whereof is no whit prejudiced by the ſimplicity of his perſon, which doth alledge it. Hooker, b. ii. ſ. 7. Neither muſt his example, done without the book, preju- dice that which is well appointed in the book. Whitgifte. I am not to prejudice the cauſe of my fellow-poets, though I abandon my own defence. Dryden. 3. To injure; to hurt; to diminiſh; to impair; to be detri- mental to. This ſenſe, as in the noun, is often improperly extended to meanings that have no relation to the original ſenſe; who can read with patience of an ingredient that pre- judices a medicine The ſtrength of that law is ſuch, that no particular nation can lawfully prejudice the ſame by any their ſeveral laws and ordinances, more than a man by his private reſolutions, the law of the whole commonwealth wherein he liveth. Hooker. The Danube reſcu'd, and the empire ſav’d, Say, is the majeſty of verſe retriev'd : And would it prejudice thy ſofter vein, To ſing the princes, Louis and Eugene Prior. To this is added a vinous bitter, warmer in the compoſition of its ingredients than the watry infuſion; and, as gentian and lemon-peel make a bitter of ſo grateful a flavour, the only care required in this compoſition was to chuſe ſuch an ad- dition as might not prejudice it. London Diſpenſatory. Anonym. PREJudicial. adj. [prejudiciable, Fr. from prejudice.] 1. Obſtructive by means of oppoſite prepoſſeſſions. 2. Contrary; oppoſite.

If part of the people or eſtate be ſomewhat in the election, you cannot make them nulls or cyphers in the pri- vation or tranſlation. º Bacon. If the privation be good, it follows not the former condi- tion was evil, but leſs good; for the flower or bloſſom is a poſitive good, although the remove of it, to give place to the fruit, be a comparative good.

[probabilitas, Lat. probabilité, Fr. from probable.] Likelihood; appearance of truth; evidence ariſing from the preponderation of argument: it is leſs than moral certainty. Probability is the appearance of the agreement or diſagree- ment of two ideas, by the intervention of proofs, whoſe con- nection is not conſtant; but appears for the moſt part to be ſo. Locke. As for probabilities, what thing was there ever ſet down ſo agreeable with found reaſon, but ſome probable ſhew againſt it might be made : Hºoker's Preface. If a truth be certain, and thwart intereſt, it will quickly fetch it down to but a probability; nay, if it does not carry with it an impregnable evidence, it will go near to debaſe it to a downright falſity. South's Sermons. Though moral certainty be ſometimes taken for a high de- gree of probability, which can only produce a doubtful aſſent; yet it is alſo frequently uſed for a firm aſſent to thing upon ſuch grounds, as are fit fully to ſatisfy a Prudent man.

Locke. Becauſe denſe bodies conſerve their heat a long time, and the denſeſt bodies conſerve their heat the longeſt, the vibra- tions of their parts are of a laſting nature; and therefore may be propagated along ſolid fibres of uniform denſe matter to a great diſtance, for conveying into the brain the impreſſions made upon all the organs of ſenſe.

Peculiar ; not belonging to more; not common. As for the virtues that belong unto moral righteouſneſs and honeſty of life, we do not mention them, becauſe they are not proper unto chriſtian men as they are chriſtian, but do concern them as they are men. Hooker. Men of learning hold it for a ſlip in judgment, when offer is made to demonſtrate that as proper to one thing, which reaſon findeth common unto many. Hooker. No ſenſe the precious joys conceives, Which in her private contemplations be; For then the raviſh'd ſpirit the ſenſes leaves, Hath her own pow'rs, and proper ačtions free. Davies. Of nought no creature ever formed ought, For that is proper to th' Almighty's hand. Davies. Dufreſnoy's rules, concerning the poſture of the figures, are almoſt wholly proper to painting, and admit not any com- pariſon with poetry. - Dryden's Dufreſnoy.

Some have been deceived into an opinion, that the inheri- tance of rule over men, and property in things, ſprung from the ſame original, and were to deſcend by the ſame rules. Locke. Property, whoſe original is from the right a man has to uſe any of the inferior creatures, for ſubſiſtence and comfort, is for the ſole advantage of the proprietor, ſo that he may even deſtroy the thing that he has property in. Locke. 4. Poſſeſſion held in one's own right. For numerous bleſſings yearly ſhow'r'd, And property with plenty crown'd, Accept our pious praiſe. Dryden. 5.

Pulſe is thus accounted for : when the left ventricle of the heart contracts, and throws its blood into the great artery, the blood in the artery is not only thruſt forward towards the ex- tremities, but the channel of the artery is likewiſe dilated ; becauſe fluids, when they are preſſed, preſs again to all ſides, and their preſſure is always perpendicular to the ſides of the con- taining veſſels; but the coats of the artery, by any ſmall impe- tus, may be diſtended : therefore, upon the contraction or ſyſ- tole of the heart, the blood from the left ventricle will not only preſs the blood in the artery forwards, but both together will diſtend the fides of the artery: when the impetus of the blood againſt the ſides of the artery ceaſes; that is, when the left ventricle ceaſes to contract, then the ſpiral fibres of the ar- tery, by their natural elaſticity, return again to their former ſtate, and contračt the channel of the artery, till it is again dilated by the diaſtole of the heart: this diaſtole of the artery is called its pulſe, and the time the ſpiral fibres are returning to their natural ſtate, is the diſtance between two pulſe: ; this pulſe is in all the arteries of the body at the ſame time; for, while the blood is thruſt out of the heart into the artery, the artery being full, the blood muſt move in all the arteries at the ſame time ; and becauſe the arteries are conical, and the blood moves from the baſis of the cone to the apex, therefore the blood muſt ſtrike againſt the ſides of the veſſels, and con- ſcquently every point of the artery muſt be dilated at the ſame time that the blood is thrown out of the left ventricle of the heart; and as ſoon as the elaſticity of the ſpiral fibres can overcome the impetus of the blood, the artcries are again con- tracted : thus two cauſes operating alternately, the heart and fibres of the arteries, keep the blood in a continual motion: an high pule is either vehement or ſtrong, but if the dilatation of the artery does not riſe to its uſual height, it is called a low or weak pulſe ; but if between its dilatations there paſſes more time than uſual, it is called a ſlow pulſe: again, if the coats of an artery feel harder than uſual from any cauſe whatſoever, it is called an hard pulſe ; but if by any contrary cauſe they are foſter, then it is called a ſoft fift. &iny.

Drydºn. It would be well, if people would not lay ſo much weight on their own reaſºn in matters of religion, as to think eycry thing impoſſible and abſurd, which they cannot conceive : how often do we contradict the right rules of reaſon in the whole courſe of our lives reaſon itſelf is true and juſt, but the reaſºn of every particular man is weak and wavering, perpetually ſwayed and turn'd by his intereſs, his pºſions and his vices.

Conſcience, not acting by law, is a boundleſs preſumptuous thing ; and, for any one by virtue thereof, to challenge him- ſelf a privilege of doing what he will, and of being unaccount- able, is in all reaſºn too much, eitherfor man or angel. South. A ſevere reflection Montaigne has made on princes, that we ought not in reaſon to have any expectatious of favour from them. Dryden's Dedication to Aurengzebe. We have as great aſſurance that there is a God, as the na- ture of the thing to be proved is capable of, and as we could in reaſºn expect to have. Tillºtſon's Preface. When any thing is proved by as good arguments as a thing of that kind is capable of, we ought not in reaſon to doubt of its exiſtence. Tillotſºn. Io. Rationale; juſt account.

# º, * * trº, S A B Has in Engliſh the ſame hiſing ſound as in other languages, and unhappily prevails in ſo many of our words that it produces in the ear of a foreigner a 9 continued ſibilation. In the beginning of words, it has invariably its natural and genuine ſound: in the middle it is ſometimes ut- tered with a ſtronger appulſe of the tongue to the palate, like z; as roſe, roſeate, roſy, oſier, noſel, reſident, buſy, buſineſs. It formetimes keeps its natural ſound; as looſe, deſignation; for which I know not whether any rules can be given. In the end of monoſyllables it is ſometimes s, as in this; and ſometimes z, as in as, has ; and generally where es ſtands in verbs for eth, as gives. It ſeems to be eſtabliſhed as a rule, that no noun ſingular ſhould end with ſ ſingle: there- fore in words written with diphthongs, and naturally long, an e is nevertheleſs added at the end, as gooſe, houſe; and where the ſyllable is ſhort the ſ is doubled, and was once ſe, as aſs, anciently aſſe; wilderneſs, anciently wilderneſe ; diſtreſs, an- ciently diſtreſſe.

Dryden. 2. Intermiſſion of pain or ſorrow; time of reſt. Never any ſabbath of releaſe Could free his travels and afflićtions deep. Daniel’s C. War.

It hath a tuberoſe root, and long nervous graſſy leaves, with a longitudinal furrow through the middle of each. There are Spring-flowering crocuſes, and thoſe which flower in Autumn. Their ſeeds are ripe about the lat- ter end of April: the time of planting is in July. About the beginning of September they begin to ſpire, and ſometime af. ter appear the ſaffron flowers, which are gathered as well be- fore as after they are full-blown; and the moſt proper time for this is early in the morning: the chives being all picked out of the flowers, the next labour about them is to dry them on the kiln: at firſt they give it a pretty ſtrong heat. The charges and profits attending the culture of ſaffron, have been coin- puted in the following manner: the rent of an acre of ground, and the expence of manuring it, is reckoned at twenty-three pounds: the value of twenty-ſix pounds of ſaffron, the com. puted produce of an acre in three years, is, at a mean, ſup- poſed to be thirty-nine pounds; and conſequently the neat profits of an acre of ground, producing ſaffron, will in three years amount to ſixteen pounds.

[ ſalmo, Latin; ſaumon, French.] The ſalmon is accounted the king of freſh-water fiſh, and is bred in rivers relating to the ſea, yet ſo far from it as ad- mits no tinéture of brackiſhneſs. He is ſaid to breed or caſt his ſpawn in moſt rivers in the month of Auguſt: ſome ſay that then they dig a hole in a ſafe place in the gravel, and there place their eggs or ſpawn, after the melter has done his natural office, and then cover it over with gravel and ſtones, and ſo leave it to their Creator's protection; who, by a gentle heat which he infuſes into that cold element, makes it brood and beget life in the ſpawn, and to become famlets early in the Spring: having ſpent their appointed time, and done this na- tural duty in the freſh waters, they haſte to the ſea before Winter, both the melter and ſpawner. Sir Francis Bacon obſerves the age of a ſalmon exceeds not ten years: his growth is very ſudden, ſo that after he is got into the ſea he becomes from a ſamlet, not ſo big as a gudgeon, to be a ſalmon, in as ſhort a time as a goſling becomes a gooſe. 1/alton's Angler.

The diſtinétion of ſalts, whereby they are diſcriminated into acid, volatile, or ſalſuginous, if I may ſo call the fugitive ſalts of animal ſubſtances, and fixed or alcalizate, may appear of much uſe in natural philoſophy. Boyle. SALT. n.ſ.. [ſalt, Gothick; realt, Saxon; ſal, Latin; Jel, French.] 1. Salt is a body whoſe two eſſential properties ſeem to be diſ. ſolubility in water, and a pungent ſapor: it is an active incom- buſtible ſubſtance: it gives all bodies conſiſtence, and pre- ſerves them from corruption, and occaſions all the variety of taſtes. There are three kinds of ſalts, fixed, volatile, and eſſential: fixed ſalt is drawn by calcining the matter, then boiling the aſhes in a good deal of water: after this the ſolu- tion is filtrated, and all the moiſture evaporated, when the ſalt remains in a dry form at the bottom: this is called a lixivious ſalt. Eſſential ſalt is that drawn chiefly from the parts of ani- : mals, and ſome putrified parts of vegetables: it riſes eaſily, and is the moſt volatile of any. The eſſential ſalt is drawn from the juice of plants by cryſtalization. Harris. Is not diſcourſe, manhood, learning, gentleneſs, virtue and liberality, the ſpice and ſalt that ſeaſons a man Shakeſp.

The ſeveral pieces, of which the ſkull is compoſed, are joined together by futures, which makes it leſs apt to break: theſe pieces or bones are ſix proper and two common, and each is made up of two tables, or laminae, be- tween which there is a thin and ſpongious ſubſtance, made of ſome bony fibres, which come from cach lamina, called in Greck dºor, and in Latin meditilliam.

[ ſoc, French, a ploughſhare; ſºccaghum, barba- rous Latin.] In law, is a tenure of lands for certain inferiour or huſbandly ſervices to be performed to the lord of the fee. All ſervices due for land being knight's ſervice, or ſoccage; ſo that whatever is not knight's ſervice, is ſoccage. This ſoc- cage is of three kinds ; a ſoccage of free tenure, where a man holdeth by free ſervice of twelve pence a-year for all manner of ſervices. Soccage of ancient tenure is of land of ancient demeſne, where no writ original ſhall be ſued, but the writ ſecundum conſuetudinem manerii. Soccage of baſe tenure is where thoſe that hold it may have none other writ but the monſtrave- runt; and ſuch ſockmen hold not by certain ſervice. Cowel.

There is alſo another difference, name- ly, that rarefaction, which is of very great uſe in diſtillation, has hardly any room in ſubſtration; for the ſubſtances which are to be ſublimed being ſolid are incapable of rarefaction; and ſo it is only impulſe that can raiſe them. &uincy. Separation is wrought by weight, as in the ſettlement of liquors, by heat, by precipitation or ſullimatiºn; that is a cal- ling of the ſeveral parts up or down, which is a kind of at- traction. Baon's Natural Hiſtºry, Since oil of ſulphur per campanam is of the ſame nature with oil of vitriol, may it not be inſerred that ſulphur is a mixture of volatile and fixed parts ſo ſtrogly cohering by at- traction, as to aſcend together by ſul imation.

As religion looketh upon him who in majeſty and power is infinite, as we ought we account not of it, unleſs we eſteem it even according to that very height of excellency which our hearts conceive, when divine ſublimity itſelf is rightly conſi- dered.

[veine, Fr. vena, Latin.] The veins are only a continuation of the extreme capillary arteries reflected back again towards the heart, and uniting their channels as they approach it, till at laſt they all form three large veins; the cava deſcendens, which brings the blood back from all the parts above the heart; the cava aſcendens, which brings the blood from all the parts below the heart ; and the forta, which carries the blood to the liver. The coats of the veins are the ſame with thoſe of the arteries, only the muſcular coat is as thin in all the veins, as it is in the capillary arteries ; the preſſure of the blood againſt the ſides of the veins being leſs than that againſt the ſides of the arteries. In the veins there is no pulſe, becauſe the blood is thrown into them with a continued ſtream, and becauſe it moves from a narrow channel to a wider. The capillary veins unite with one another, as the capillary arteries. In all the veins perpendicular to the horizon, excepting thoſe of the uterus and of the porta, are ſmall membranes or valves ; like ſo many half thimbles ſtuck to the ſide of the veins, with their mouths towards the heart. In the motion of the blood towards the heart, they are preſſed cloſe to the fide of the veins; but if blood ſhould fif back, it muſt fill the valves; and they being diffended, ſtop up the channel, ſo that no blood can repaſs them.

For a man to doubt whether there be any hell, and there- upon to live ſo as if abſolutely there were none; but when he dies to find himſelf confuted in the flames, this muſt be the height of woe and diſappointment, and a bitter conviction of an irrational venture, and abſurd choice.

Though they had ideas enough to diſtinguiſh gold from a ſtone, yet they but timorouſly ventured on ſuch terms as aurietas and ſaxietas. Locke.

Brown's Pºul Er. /criſimilitude and opinion are an eaſy purchaſe; but true knowledge is dear and difficult.

The precipitancy of diſputation, and the ſtir and noiſe of paſſions that uſually attend it, muſt needs be prejudicial to verity; its calm inſinuations can no more be heard in ſuch a buſtle, than a whiſtle among a croud of ſailors in a ftorm. - Glanville.

Wind is when any trađt of air moves from the place it is in, to any other, with an impetus that is ſenſible to us, wherefore it was not ill called by the antients, a ſwifter courſe of air; a flowing wave of air; a flux, effuſion, or ſtream of air. - - Muſchenbroek.

Their inſtruments were various in their kind, Some for the bow, and ſome for breathing wind. Dryden. 8. Air impregnated with ſcent. A hare had long eſcap'd purſuing hounds, By often ſhifting into diſtant grounds, Till finding all his artifices vain, To ſave his life, he leap'd into the main.

Sound ſleep cometh of moderate eating; he riſeth early, and his wits are with him : but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unſatiable man. - Eccluſ, xxxi. 20. Wickedneſs is voluntary frenzy, and every finner does more extravagant things than any mán that is crazed, and out of his wits, only that he knows better what he does. Tillotſon. No man in his wits can ſeriouſly think that his own ſoul hath exiſted from all eternity. Bentley. 8. Contrivance; ſtratagem ; power of expedients.
